A GOOD TINE COMING.

The N. Y. Pest thus moralizes on
the Democratic victory in Rhode
Island: at must be evident to Re
publicans everywhere that the country
has swung into a new epoch. The
independent voter is more numerous
than ever and more fearless than ever.
The great issue Of the day is that Of
good government and the party or
candidate that stands against that will
90 under, no matter how glorious may
be the record of the party that stands
behind him. The epoch Of striking
out boldly for good government in
Hawaii has not yet come. Its open
ing here, however, will not require
Mugwumps or breaches in parties Of
any kind. The record Of the past,
instead Of commanding respect from
voters, is precisely Of the reverse char
acter What is needed here IS not
that men desert their historic party
banners, but that they rally round
them. There is no party in the Ha-
waiian Islands except the benefciaries
Of the government or those closely con
nected with them, who are not speci-
iically opposed TO the present admins
tration and generally nauseated with
the political system that leaves it posi-
BILE for such body to hold office an
hour. While close party organization
seems to be breaking up in the United
States in the interest Of good govern
ment, here'it is compact party organ
ization that is most urgently needed
10 effect the same laudable object
While the Opposition is united by a
rope Of sand, the era Of good govern
ment stands postponed. And unless a
reform league or some similar organi-
cation, as suggested in this paper
few days ago, becomes an accomplish
able fact, the days OF good government
in Hawaii may be set down as post
poned indefinitely.
